THE RENEWAL OF THE PRIESTHOOD AND OF RELIGIOUS LIFE IS IN THE HANDS OF THE YOUNG AND I THINK THEY WILL DO IT IF ONLY THE OLD GUARD GETS OUT OF THE WAY

Everything old is renewed again!

Fr. Justin in the center, 40 years from now!

Sister Elizabeth and all the Daughters of Charity in five years!

The young who would consider the priesthood or religious life are looking for dioceses and religious orders that are traditional, faithful to the Magisterium and profoundly spiritual but also community oriented. These are all the things that the "supposed" "renewal" of the priesthood and religious life dumped in favor of individualism, narcissism and secularism. Of course this first phase of "renewal" is really decay but it is bringing forth newer forms of religious life and candidates who don't want what was sold to the Church in the 1960's as "renewal". They want authentic renewal.
